Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, a fuel dealership, obtained an urgent provisional order compelling the respondent to return fuel pumps and equipment removed from its premises. The parties had a dealership agreement under which the respondent installed equipment at the applicant's premises. When the applicant terminated the agreement due to supply issues and paid off the loan, the respondent removed the equipment without notice, prompting the spoliation application.
